Proceed in the following order:
- Start the port engine first.
- Then start the starboard engine.
After starting the engine check for cooling water running out of the

DANGER
Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank

• MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check the O ring of the filler for good condition (in order
to prevent water entries).
- Do not turn off the fuel tap after each use (except in case the boat
is unattended for long).
- Keep the fuel tank as full as possible (to avoid condensation).

The water results either from the condensation resulting from an in-

or with a damaged seal.
In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two
filters: ENGINE
- The first filter is on the pipe that joins the tank to the engine,it has 81
the functions of a water decanter and pre-filter.
- A second filter is an integral part of the engine its role is to filter fuel
very finely. To know when you have to intervene and how fre-
quently you have to change it, please refer to the engine's manual.
Drain by undoing the knurled screw at the base of the decantation
bowl(but not removing it).
Allow to flow into a box till the fuel looks clean.
Do it several times a year.

Change the pre-filter at least once a year (access to it when you re-
